It has eleven ingredients: coriander seeds, toor dal, chana dal, asafoetida, dried red chilli, curry leaves, cumin seeds, pepper, garlic, turmeric and salt.

The ingredients are the ones you will find in other rasam powders; the recipe is the Thanjavur one. Angaal Ventures makes it in Pattukkottai, in Thanjavur district.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePepper, cumin and garlic are in the pouch\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese three are what most cooks reach for when they make rasam from scratch, and here they come already ground, along with coriander seeds, dried red chilli and turmeric. Toor dal and chana dal are ground in too, and the curry leaves and asafoetida are part of the blend. Salt is in the powder, so season the pot only after tasting it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAdd it late, and do not boil it hard\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoil the tamarind with the tomato until the raw smell of the tamarind has gone, and only then add the powder. After that, bring the rasam to a froth and switch off the flame. Hard boiling after the powder goes in dulls the aroma. Our starting measure is 1 tablespoon of powder for a pot that serves 4 to 5; taste it, and raise or lower it next time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRasam powder or sambar powder?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRasam is thin and sour, with little or no vegetable.
